Flamenco meets bellydance as Ritmo Flamenco delves into its moorish past led by the acclaimed Scannura family.
A Sirocco is a powerful Mediterranean wind hailing from the Sahara that crosses North Africa and settles in southern Spain. Virtuoso dancer/choregorapher Anjelica Scannura has honed her craft in the flamenco studios of Spain and has travelled wordwide performing both flamenco and bellydance. In her acclaimed Dora nominated production, she moves beyond geographical and stylistic boundaries searching for the obscure Arab roots of flamenco. She is joined by renowned flamenco guitarist and composer Roger Scannura and Artistic Director Valerie Scannura who together with their ensemble of stellar dancers and musicians mesmerize their audience with their critically acclaimed production.
January 6 – March 31 (no classes Feb 17 – 23
Wednesdays from 6:00-7:00pm is BEGINNER CASTANET/SEVILLANAS which will run from Jan 8 – March 25 and the registration amount is $180 for 10 weeks.
If there is an instrument that we associate with flamenco, there is no other than the castanets, which together with the guitar, represent the identifying sound of flamenco music and dance as well as Spanish folklore and culture. If you are studying flamenco dance, you should add castanets to the training as every performance we do for the public must include castanets. I provide castanets for the students to borrow until you decide to buy your own. We also cover the first verse of the Sevillanas, which is Spain’s most popular dance.
Thursdays from 6:30-7:30pm is Advanced Beginner Flamenco which will run from Jan 9 – March 26. Registration amount is $200 for 11 weeks.
This class has completed Introduction to Flamenco or has some previous dance training. We will continue building all areas of technique while learning the Bulerias, which is one of the most important palos to learn as a flamenco dancer. The 12 beat rhythmical structure is learned and a choreography is also part of the course.
